Cypress Test Replay now captures canvas elements by default for all Cypress Cloud projects, eliminating the striped placeholder that appeared when tests interacted with canvas. Previously opt-in due to concerns about recording performance at scale, the feature is now enabled automatically without requiring configuration changes or Cypress version updates. A project-level toggle to disable canvas capture has been added in Cypress Cloud settings for teams with performance concerns. Two gaps remain: canvas elements inside Shadow DOM are still not captured, and canvas capture requires Cypress 15.5.0 or later.
